Yes, it does what I want, but perhaps not what I described. My goal was to find
a way to add values to the actual query, which this does nicely. Yours, thank
you very much, is even nicer. :)

My other option, as I saw it, was to loop through the items,
appending value
data to the query text with each iteration. If that seems
cryptic, here's a
basic idea of what I mean.
?
$query = INSERT INTO specials VALUES (
foreach ( $specials as $item ) {
$query = substr_replace( $query, $item., , strlen( $query ) );
}
$query = substr_replace( $query, ), strlen( $query )-2 );
?
If $specials was an array with the values spec1, spec2, and
spec3, the final
value of $query would be:
INSERT INTO specials VALUES (spec1, spec2, spec3)
I'm actually slightly dubious that this query *does* do what you want, but if
you've double-checked it and it does, then this is a somewhat more compact way
of producing it:
$query = INSERT INTO specials VALUES ( . implode(',', $specials) . ')'
Cheers!
